Between Storms — pat morss

As we await a winter storm later this weekend, the wildlife carries on.

Touring the GMGI marine biology lab, I learned this species of sea urchincan live 200 years.
Close to the rocks, Common Eiders were comfortable with the cold and the gray skies.
A male Cardinal after the previous snowfall.
Possibly his mate, checking out female Goldfinches enjoying thistle seeds.
Isn’t it a little early to be prancing around the Maypole?
This Red-tailed Hawk isn’t letting on that it is being harassed by several crows.
Northern Mockingbirds shift to berries in the winter when summer insects aren’t available.
A “cat ‘o nine tails” is finally going to seed at Niles Pond.
After another pond thaw/freeze, the creation of these repeated “ice splashes” remains intriguing.
Incoming Mallards, to join the crowd on the ice.
“Watch out – it’s slippery.”
“Now you tell us!”
And another explosive winter sunset.
